Anti-Japanese War: I have a million soldiers and you call me a division commander?

Chapter 43: Dispatch of troops! 2 days and 3 nights of raiding, surprise attack on the Ohara Arsenal

"We took action when the Japanese army broke through Ohara Castle, and there was no need to pull an entire brigade to Ohara Castle."

"So we'll dispatch elite troops to Dayuan City to protect and create chaos. The remaining troops will cooperate with the Eighth Route Army to launch an attack on the Tongpu Railway during the night and day of the transport."

"The Japanese troops are concentrated on the front line, leaving the rear empty. The troops are concentrated along the railways and roads."

"As long as we can transport the goods away at night, we can catch the Japanese off guard. By the time they realize what's happening, we'll have already left on the train."

Upon hearing Chu Feng's bold plan, the four of them were stunned at first and subconsciously wanted to object.

But after thinking about it, I found that this seemed to be the best way.

They didn't think that this was possible, and the Japanese naturally didn't think of it either.

"However, Brigade Commander, if this is the case, the Eighth Route Army's participation will be very high. Will they agree?" Ge Dayong was a little hesitant. He first looked at Chu Feng and then at Li Mingqiang.

As soon as Ge Dayong asked this question, Li Mingqiang opened his mouth. He wanted to say that there was no problem with the Eighth Route Army, but this was a big matter and he could not make the decision.

"Let's discuss it!"

Chu Feng remained calm and said, "Let's work out a battle plan, and then I'll go to the Eighth Route Army headquarters to talk to them."

With Chu Feng's inspiration, everyone worked to improve the plans for roads and railways.

That evening, the battle plan was finalized and immediately sent to the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, with Chu Feng leading the team personally.

Not many people knew about all this. Chu Feng stayed at the Eighth Route Army Headquarters for a day. The two sides held friendly consultations, as well as specific combat coordination and the distribution of spoils after the war.

Finally, an agreement was reached that the Eighth Route Army was willing to work with Chu Feng and cooperate with the Independent 1st Brigade in combat.

The battle plan was further improved with the help of the Eighth Route Army.

The time came to November 7th.

The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Regiments of the 1st Independent Brigade, the Artillery Regiment, the Quartermaster Regiment, the Automobile Repair Regiment, the Reconnaissance Battalion, the Engineer Battalion, the Chemical Defense Battalion, and the Communications Company.

Six regiments, three battalions, and one company, totaling more than 28,000 people, quietly left Yuan County under the leadership of Chu Feng, Ge Dayong, Chief of Staff Wang Tiezhu, and Logistics Director Zhao Wushu.

Li Mingqiang led the brigade guard battalion, Yuanxian Guard Regiment, Air Defense Regiment, Flight Base, and three other guard battalions to stay in Yuanxian.

On the way!

The artillery regiment, in company units, joined forces with the Eighth Route Army troops. The second and third regiments also joined forces with the Eighth Route Army troops in battalion units and acted together.

Their goal was to launch an attack on the county towns, railway stations, roads, bridges and other places where Japanese troops were stationed along the Tongpu Railway as soon as the battle of Ohara Castle started.

The purpose was not to destroy the Japanese army, but to tie them up, make them unable to move and keep them confused and in the dark, so that the train and convoy could pass smoothly.

The main force responsible for attacking Ohara Castle this time was the 1st Regiment, the 2nd and 3rd Regiments' artillery battalions, the reconnaissance battalion, the engineering battalion and the chemical defense battalion, with a total of 8000 people.

As for the supply regiment and the automobile maintenance regiment, they will also act together. After the battle, they will cooperate with each other. The job of the automobile maintenance regiment is to provide support for the hundreds of vehicles of the supply regiment.

The communications company is responsible for overall communications command.

Time passed little by little, and news of the battle situation on the front line continued to come. It was the early morning of November 8th.

Under the leadership of Chu Feng and the guidance of relevant personnel of the Eighth Route Army, the troops quietly sneaked into the northeast of Dayuan City. At this time, the position in front of the arsenal had been breached and the arsenal fell into the hands of the Japanese.

Moreover, the troops had already entered Ohara Castle, and the defending troops also felt that they were surrounded.

A day passed and it was three o'clock in the afternoon on the 9th.

Ohara Castle has fallen, and the Japanese are celebrating and chasing the defending troops.

"Report to the brigade commander, the situation at the arsenal and the railway station has been figured out." With the help of the Eighth Route Army and the troops left behind before, although there was chaos in Ohara City, the desired intelligence was still obtained.

"Ok?"

Chu Feng was shocked when he heard this. He took it and looked at it, a smile on his face: "It seems that our guess is correct. Although the Japanese have gathered in Dayuan City, they are not prepared at all now."

"The troops are all pursuing the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and the Second War Zone troops. There are only a few thousand people in the entire city of Dayuan, and the arsenal has less than a battalion of troops."

"At the railway station, due to the war and the train workers' strike, a large number of trains and carriages are parked at the station." At this point, Chu Feng couldn't help but laugh and said, "Great, that's great. It can be said that God is helping me!!"

At this time, the sun had already set. With the specific information about the enemy, Chu Feng quickly issued a combat order.

"There are three cores in this battle."

"The 1st Battalion of the 1st Regiment, along with the 1st Regiment's Artillery Battalion and Engineer Battalion, will attack the Arsenal. Once the battle begins, we must eliminate the Japanese from the Arsenal within an hour."

"The reconnaissance battalion, in coordination with the 1st Company of the Chemical Defense Battalion, attacked the train station. After eliminating the Japanese troops at the train station, they quickly occupied the surrounding terrain, blocking all incoming enemies and holding out until daybreak."

"The 2nd and 3rd Battalions of the 1st Regiment, along with the 2nd and 3rd Companies of the Regimental Artillery Battalion and the Chemical Defense Battalion, attack south and east. Use offense instead of defense to confuse the enemy and keep them guessing, preventing them from determining our objective."

Having said that, Chu Feng looked at the supply regiment and the automobile support regiment and said, "Once the arsenal is taken, you will act immediately. With the cooperation of the workers, quickly pull the machinery and equipment towards the train station."

Having said that, Chu Feng looked at the representatives of the Eighth Route Army.

The representative felt Chu Feng's gaze and immediately said, "General Chu, we have mobilized workers, students, and a number of troops, totaling tens of thousands of people. After the message is sent, they will definitely arrive within half an hour."

"it is good!"

Chu Feng smiled brightly. He had been planning for this big piece of meat, the Dayuan Arsenal, for so long. Furthermore, the troops had also been on a long march for three days and two nights. Now it was finally time to see the real deal.

"All troops, organize meals immediately."

"We will launch the attack at 5 pm on time!" The days in November are short and the nights are long. Although it is very cold, the days can be longer with the cover of darkness.

Half an hour later, the various troops began to move first. When the clock struck five o'clock on time, the sound of gunfire in Ohara City, which had gradually subsided, suddenly became violent.

Chu Feng, who was at the rear with his command center, watched through a telescope the 1st Battalion of the First Regiment attacking the arsenal. Chu Feng couldn't help but mutter, "Little devils, here comes your Grandpa Chu Feng!"
